BATON ROUGE - LSU's offense has left patches of stubble on the field the last two weeks, and Coach Les Miles wants it cleaned up now.

To be exacting, the Tigers have fumbled seven times over the last two games and lost five. Quarterback Zach Mettenberger fumbled three times in those two games and lost all three. The first one was at the Auburn 2-yard line and cost the Tigers a touchdown. The next one was at his 26 and set up an Auburn touchdown that got the 20-point underdogs within 9-7 of LSU, which eventually sweated out a 12-10 victory.
